A Scholarly Split: In-Person Or Virtual?

Image
  As COVID-19 continues its rampage across the globe, all but essential businesses were thrown off schedule: including schools. With the help of masks, vaccines, and a lockdown, schools have been able to fully reopen back in-person for the 2021 to 2022 school year, but not before finishing the remaining half of the 2019-2020 and the majority of the 2020-2021 school year virtually. With the Omicron variant making its way across America, many predict schools will be returning to virtual- which begs the question: what is better for the students? In-person or virtual? Welcome back, dear debaters! It is I, your friendly neighborhood debate-blogger, Hibba! Long time no see, right? Well, I’d love to explain my long-time hiatus, but I’ll save that for a blog update. But I’m back (hopefully for good!), and while I’m not promising weekly posts, I can try to get a blog every month or so. Now, without further ado- let’s get started! I think this debate is a super controversial one! I think it ...

The Real Fight: Are Children Being Sexualized?

Oh. My. God. Forget cute, she’s drop-dead gorgeous. She’s the girl of your dreams. How come you’ve never seen her at school? She lives nearby anyway. You quickly add her on Snap, and start stalking her on Insta, scrolling through pic through pic. You’re considering sending her DM, but your eye falls on her bio- and your jaw drops. Because this perfect girl is only twelve! Hey guys! It’s Hibba, back with another debate. Ever since the COVID-19 outbreak, I’ve had plenty of time on my hands. So, I’ve put that time to good use, to bring you, another new topic! It’s not exactly Saturday, but at this point, who cares? The topic I have chosen is....drumroll, please…: Are kids being sexualized? This issue has been fought over for a while now, by the kids who are supposedly being “sexualized”, and the parents of those kids. With all the time I had, I decided it was appropriate to add my opinion on this pressing problem. In my opinion: yes. And no, you're not gett...

Should Kids Date, Or Let It Wait?

“Oh my god! I heard she got a boyfriend! Unbelievable, right?” “Eh… they aren’t a good couple.” “sLuMp g0d ¡” This is the stuff I hear when I go to school. Most of us hear this stuff (apart from the bottom one). Ships, dating, couples and all that lovey-dovey stuff is everywhere, in middle and high school. Here is a shout out to @andrew._.coyle for suggesting the idea! It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten a suggestion, so here you go! And stick till’ the end for a little poll, suggested by your friend, Andrew! But, there’s a pretty big debate between kids and adults on whether kids should date. Is it worth it? Usually, I would yeet myself onto the kids’ side for most debates. But for this argument, I’m going to have to agree with the adults. With a no. First of all, dating is a distraction from school. Dating just draws kids away from their studies. Teens become so indulged in their partner, they forget why they come to school! Girls put boys before th...
